Top Picks for the Body Care Sale

The Spring body care sale starts on Friday, May 20! This two-day sale is your chance to stock up for summer or purchase some of those products you've been eyeing while they're 30% off. Check out some of the body care items our team is loving lately.

LET'S GET OUTSIDE

skin care picks: mineral sunscreen, Booda butter, MSM lotion, natural bug repellent, facial wipes for camping

Summer is on the way and all the burns, bites and bruises that come along with it are too. Whether you're hiking, camping, visiting the San Juan's or swimming in the bay—these products are essentials for a safe and happy summer season.

  1. Sun safety is crucial! We love Badger Balm Mineral SPF 50 because it comes in a nifty reusable tin (bye plastic!), it’s Protect Land + Sea certified, and Reef Friendly!
  2. Can't forget about skincare: MyChelle Dermaceuticals makes an awesome Solar Defense Body Lotion that contains mineral SPF 50, as well as coconut oil and shea butter to soothe and hydrate. This is a great everyday product for the best of moisture and sun protection in one bottle. 
  3. Grace Harbor MSM Cream is a must-have for summer! Rub it on anything that hurts: bruises, bites, sunburns, rolled ankles, pulled muscles, etc. It’s natural pain relief in a bottle, from a trusted local brand. 
  4. Booda Organics is a Co-op staff and shopper fave! Their Booda Butter balm comes in a travel-friendly tin and you can use it just about anywhere. It’s great for calloused hands, cracked heels, chapped lips, rubbing into cuticle beds or anywhere that could use extra love and protection. 
  5. We love Happy Trails Aromatherapy Bug Spray for keeping ticks and mosquitos at bay while being super-safe for people and planet. It’s made with five bug-repelling essential oils and comes in a reusable or recyclable glass spray bottle. Safe for kids!
  6. Camping this summer? Acure Seriously Soothing Micellar Towelettes are perfect for keeping clean on the go. They’ll take off makeup, dirt, sweat, and excess oil without the need for water, soap, or sink. Gentle enough for sensitive skin! 

SKINCARE OBSESSED

natural skin care: mad hippie vitamin c serum, cockind cleanser, acure eye cream, Thayers toner, derma e oil-free facial sunscreen, Sukin

For the skincare junkie in us all, the Co-op wellness department has an amazing selection of natural skincare products. If you’ve been eyeing something or wanting to switch up your routine, we recommend going for it while skincare products are on sale this Friday and Saturday! Here’s what’s on our list: 

  1. Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum: This all natural, cruelty-free serum is a live saver. It’s formulated with a less irritating form of vitamin C, and konjac root, ferulic acid, hyaluronic acid, chamomile and clary sage work to smooth and soothe skin. This will help with combat hyper-pigmentation, fade dark spots, and even texture. Similar versions of this product go for as much as $166, so $34 is a steal!
  2. Thayer’s Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner: This budget toner will give you tons of bang for your buck! Toners remove excess dirt, oil, makeup, and residue from pores to help prep skin to absorb moisturizers and serums. Witch hazel and rose petals are excellent for acne prone skin and the added aloe vera in this formula helps ensure this toner won’t be too drying. 
  3. Cocokind’s Oil-to-Milk Cleanser is a gentle daily cleanser that removes makeup or excess dirt and oil while leaving the skin’s natural moisture barrier intact. Great for all skin types. 
  4. Derma E Oil-Free Mineral Facial Sunscreen is a must-have for summer. It’s loaded with vitamin e and green tea to soothe skin while providing daily sun protection. Plus, it’s Reef Safe for any spontaneous ocean dips! 
  5. Acure’s Ultra Hydrating Eye Cream is packed with adaptogens such as ashwagandha, holy basil, and reishi mushroom to soothe sensitive under-eye skin, while green coffee extract combats dark circles and helps reduce fine lines. 
  6. Sukin’s Everyday Facial Moisturizer is just that—a no-fuss moisturizer for everyday and everyone! Fragrance-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and petroleum-free, this moisturizer is ideal for folks with sensitive skin.

Your #PlasticFree Body Care Routine

Tis the season to say bye bye to plastic waste! Swapping a couple daily use items for plastic-free alternatives can make a big impact—just imagine what happens if millions of people opt to ditch one plastic bottle. That's millions of plastic bottles kept out of our environment.

If you're interested making the switch to plastic-free (or less plastic-full) body care, the Co-op wellness department has you covered! We're highlighting 12 products to carry you through a sustainable daily routine.

Moonflower Botanicals Bar Soap

Sam's palm-free bar soaps are handmade right here in Bellingham, Washington! Sam uses flowers from her garden to infuse herbal goodness into the soaps she makes. All bars create a rich lather and are packaging and palm-oil free!

HiBar Shampoo & Conditioner Bars

HiBar was born of the belief that salon-quality haircare should come without a polluting plastic bottle. Their paper packaging is compostable and the bars are made without soaps, sulfates, phthalates, silicones, or parabens. The Co-op carries HiBar's for all hair types!

Wild Carrot Herbals 

These facial cleansing bars are handmade, biodegradable, and minimally packaged in paper. They're made in Oregon using organic botanicals and high-quality essential oils. Not only that, they're affordable at just $12.99 for a bar that can last up to six months with daily use.

Wild Carrot Herbals Saffron Seed Nutrient Cream

This facial moisturizer is a Co-op staff favorite! It's filled with ultra-nourishing botanical ingredients like sea buckthorn oil and saffron-infused olive oil. It comes in a glass jar that can be used again and again after you've finished your product.

Moon Valley Organics Lotion Bars

Ditch the pump! These lotion bars are made with fewer than 12 certified organic, herbal ingredients. They come in post-consumer recycled cardboard boxes and cute tins that are recyclable or easily reusable. We love them for carrying jewelry during travel!

Uncle Harry's Colloidal Silver Blemish Stick

Uncle Harry's is a local, family-owned company out of Redmond, Washington. Sustainability has always been at the core of their mission. This Colloidal Silver Blemish Stick is less drying than alcohol-based acne products and comes in a glass tube.*

* = Looking for ZERO plastic? While this product is better than most, it does have a plastic cap. 

Booda Butter Eco Balm

Another locally owned company with sustainability in mind! Booda Butter Eco Balms come in biodegradable paper tubes (yes, the label is biodegradable too!). Balms are certified organic and Booda stuffs 2x more product into a tube than typical plastic-packaged lip balm.

Island Thyme Natural Deodorant 

Nearby on Orcas Island our friends from Island Thyme make effective baking soda-free natural deodorant that comes in a paper tube! These low-waste deodorants have tons of 5-star reviews. Choose from multiple scents available in the Co-op wellness department!

Plus Ultra Bamboo Toothbrush 

Plus Ultra is committed to sustainable practices. Their toothbrushes are made with 100% compostable bamboo materials.* Did you know bamboo has natural antibacterial properties? It's consider a "green solution" to wood for its short growth cycle and great carbon capture potential.

* = Looking for ZERO plastic? While this product is better than most, it does have plastic bristles.

Uncle Harry's Mild Mint Toothpaste

This locally made, natural toothpaste comes in a glass jar* that can be used again and again once you've finished your product! It's completely free of fluoride, carrageenan, triclosan, artificial sweeteners, and SLS.

* = Looking for ZERO plastic? While this product is better than most, it does have a plastic lid. 

Radius Floss with Coconut Oil

RADIUS offers an alternative to floss with all that plastic packaging! Radius peppermint sponge floss comes in 100% plastic free packaging* and is a great alternative to silk floss for vegans.

* = Looking for ZERO plastic? While this product is better than most, the floss itself is nylon.
